Why can CeOx function both as a photocatalyst and as a radical scavenger?

13 June 2024 0 3K Report

CeOx is often added to photocatalysts as an additive to enhance photocatalytic performance. At the same time, CeOx is frequently used as a radical scavenger. Is there a contradiction between these two roles?

We usually use to measure the band-gap of bulk material, how we can consider the band-gap of nanostructure for photocatalyst?

For good photocatalyst band gap should be also in range for light absorption. I want to know relation between bulk and nanostructure bandgap for choosing photocatalyst.

What factors determine whether photocatalysts require continuous or batch CO2 purging for CO2 reduction?

In experiments, we observe that some photocatalysts require continuous CO2 purging, while others only need 30 min of CO2 purging to produce the desired product.

My catalyst Ti contaning zeolite from red mud shows different degradation at different pH.?

For pH 5 & 9 almost same time 4hr for 95%, for pH 11 less time 3hr. 100% for pH 3 . 4hr, 75% Why this abnormal happened?
